(Islamophobia and Islamophobic acts have increased especially after the waves of illegal immigration and terrorist actions that lead to confusion between diversity and extremism). This youth exchange project focuses on intercultural dialogue and the role of history not to read the past, but to read the future by
learning intercultural skills responding to diversity in equal dignity.

10. Youth Megaphone: Decision makers: This project started from one consideration: young people issued from minorities communities are social actors who express in a more ambitious and idealistic way concepts related to democratic participation but, at the same time, they represent the category that, more than others, expresses its disaffection for the political world, although youth policies, in particular, should be aimed to youngsters’ involvement in decision making being their protagonists. Young people should be considered as a real resource in which to invest, without neglecting their role as citizens aware, critical and active participants in the development of society. Equally youth policies should be aimed to youths in order to guarantee a real involvement in decision making processes not only as beneficiaries but principally as actors. Mass Media was one of the best ways to help those young to be more involved.
